Question

A proton carries positive charge, and weights the same as an electron.
a. True
b. False

Answer 1

False

Step-by-step explanation:

The charge on an electron as well as proton is same. The difference between electron and proton is that the electrons have a negative charge while the protons have positive charge.

The weight of an electron is,
`9.1* 10^(-31)\ kg` while the weight of a proton is
`1.67* 10^(-27)\ kg`.

Therefore, the given statement "A proton carries positive charge, and weights the same as an electron." is false.
